THE  TENNEY   FAMILY- 


Our   English    Home. 


Our  English  home  was  Rowley  on  the  Yorkshu-e  Wolds,  in  the 
East  Riding  (a  Saxon  word  signifying  third)  of  the  County  of 
Yorkshire,  England.  It  is  situated  near  the  great  waterway,  the 
river  Humber,  an  estuary  of  the  German  Ocean,  and  is  six  miles 
from  its  south  bank,  twenty  miles  from  Spum-Head-at-the-Sea,  and 
three  hundred  feet  elevation  above  the  sea.  It  is  53°  34^  north  lati- 
tude, 0°  IC  west  Icfegitude,  ten  miles  from  the  great  commercial 
port  of  Hull,  which  lies  on  the  north  bank  of  the  river  Humber,  and 
is  the  third  port  in  England  in  size.  It  is  six  miles  southwest  of 
Beverly,  to  which  union  of  churches  it  belongs.  In  1852  a  letter 
written  by  a  lawyer  residing  near  Rowley,  England,  gives  the  fol- 
lowing description  of  the  place : 

"  It  is  a  hamlet  containing  about  a  dozen  houses  and  some  fifty  or 
sixty  inhabitants  who  are  engaged  in  agriculture.  It  has  neither 
trade  nor  institutions ;  with  two  other  hamlets  Hunsley  and  Bentleyy 
it  constitutes  a  parish.  It  is  delightfully  situated  on  the  top  of 
high  hills  called  Yorkshire  Wolds.  It  is  noted  as  having  a  good 
church  preferment,  the  living  being  worth  about  fifteen  hundred 
pounds  per  year,  and  is  almost  a  sinecure  as  to  labor  performed. 
Hence  the  gift  is  sought  by  clergy  who  desire  leisure  and  good  pay. 
It  is  said  that  Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers  was  a  leading  divine  in  England 
in  his  day,  and  held  charge  at  Rowley.  It  was  probably  a  more 
important  place  in  the  sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  than  now 
relatively. 

"  The  parish  has  five  hamlets  embracing  5,760  acres :  Little  Weton, 
where  the  chief  part  of  the  inhabitants  live ;  Riplingham,  Hunsley, 
Bentley,  and  -Rowley,  which  has  a  church  (St.  Peter's)  and  a  rec- 
tory, but  no  inhabitants  except  the  rector.  Rev.  Henry  C.  T.  Hil-

yard  and  his  family.  He  accepted  the  charge  of  the  parish  in  1852, 
at  which  date  the  only  church  there,  a  very  old,  dilapidated  struc- 
ture, was  restored  by  the  rector  on  his  going  there  to  reside. 

"  The  church  is  situated  a  few  rods  north  of  the  road,  one  half 
mile  from  the  station  on  the  Hull  &  Bamslay  Railway,  and  about 
thirty-one  miles  southeast  of  the  old  Roman  capital,  York." 

In  the  summer  of  1896  Mr.  Willis  R.  Tenney  VIII  visited  Row- 
ley, and  took  a  snap  shot  of  the  church  which  dates  back  five  cen- 
turies ;  the  tower  is  distinctly  Norman ;  a  portion  of  the  main  build- 
ing may  date  back  a  century  earlier.  In  the  church  is  an  old  stone 
font  of  the  twelfth  century,  and  the  workmanship  is  of  much  inter- 
est. Mr.  Tenney  was  taken  about  by  the  rector,  Henry  C.  T.  Hil- 
yard,  a  well  kept  man,  who  died  in  September,  1898. 

In  1638  Ezekiel  Rogers  and  some  twenty  families  of  his  parish- 
ioners came  over  to  New  England.  Their  ship  was  the  John  of 
London.  Rev.  Joseph  Glover,  the  "  Father  of  the  American  Press," 
was  a  fellow  passenger,  bringing  the  first  printing-press  ever  shipped 
to  America.  The  good  man  "  reached  his  port  <>ef  ore  the  ship  made 
land  " ;  but  his  press  came,  and  is  still  preserved.  (By  J.  L.  Ewell, 
JV.  K  Magazine,  September,  1899,  Vol.  XXI,  No.  1,  page  9.)  This 
is  corroborated  by  the  best  authority.  The  late  Hiram  Harriman,  of 
the  Georgetown  Advocate,  informed  me  that  he  had  carefully  inves- 
tigated the  above-named  matter  and  that  he  was  satisfied  the  state- 
ment was  true. 

I  accepted  it  from  him  as  true  and  believe  it  true.  (George  B. 
Blodgette,  Esq.,  historian  of  Rowley,  Mass.) 

Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers  was  a  man  of  learning,  very  devout,  pos- 
sessed of  much  zeal,  and  felt  keenly  the  religious  persecution  of 
King  Charles'  order  to  the  clergy  to  read  in  church  the  declaration 
of  sports,  in  which  the  king  directed  that  no  hindrance  should  be 
thrown  in  the  way  of  those  who  wished  to  dance  or  shoot  at  the 
butts  (a  target)  on  Sunday  afternoon.  Puritan  Rogers,  aggrieved  at 
this  and  other  persecutions,  gathered  to  him  in  the  parish  of  Rowley 
a  company,  Thomas  Tenney  and  his  wife,  Ann,  foimed  one  family, 
for  the  purpose  of  emigrating  to  America,  and  succeeded  in  leaN-ing 
England  in  the  autumn  of  1638.  They  arrived  at  Salem,  Mass.,  in 
December,  1638,  where  the  company  decided  to  remain  during  the 
winter  and  seek  a  settlement.  In  April,  1639,  the  company  were 
joined  by  forty  families,  making  sixty  families. 


GENEALOGY.  9 

A  settlement  was  made  at  Rowley,  Mass.;  the  place  was  probably 
selected  on  acconnt  of  its  pleasantness,  its  nearness  to  the  river,  and 
the  abundance  of  thatch  that  grew  upon  the  river  banks.  In  colon- 
izing they  formed  a  community  under  the  direction  of  their  spiritual 
leader,  Rev.  Mr.  Rogers,  known  as  the  Rogers  Plantation ;  after- 
wards, 4  Sept,  1639,  the  General  Court  ordered  that  the  "planta- 
tion shalbee  called  Rowley."  (Mass.  Colony  Records,  Vol.  1,  p. 
271.) 


Generation. 


I. 

Thomas  Tenney,  a  member  of  the  Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers'  com- 
pany from  Yorkshire,  England,  arrived  at  Salem,  Mass.,  in  December, 
1638,  and  settled  at  Rowley,  Mass.,  in  April,  1639.  (Gage's  Hist. 
Rowley.)  In  a  deposition  taken  at  Ipswich,  Mass.,  4  May,  1680^ 
Mr.  Tenney  testifies  in  relation  to  an  ox  pasture  in  Rowley,  and  at 
that  date  he  gave  his  age  as  about  sixty-six  years.  (Ipswich  Deeds^ 
4 :  329.)  This  would  have  made  him  twenty-four  years  old  when 
he  emigrated  to  America  with  his  wife,  Ann,  who  was  mentioned  in  • 
the  will  of  Deacon  Thomas  Mighill,  as  sister  "Ann  Tenney  "and 
Faith  Parrat,  Sen.,  said  will  dated  11  June,  1654.  Deacon  Mighill 
of  Rowley,  Mass.,  brought  with  him,  wife  Ellen,  who  was  buried 
12  July,  1640,  and  the  first  person  buried  there.  He  married  (2)  Ann 
Parrat,  sister  to  Francis  Parrat,  who  brought  with  him,  besides  his 
wife,  Elizabeth,  his  sisters,  Ann,  who  married  Dea.  Thomas  Mighill,. 
and  Faith,  who  married  John  Smith,  and  (2)  William  Law  (Early 
Settlers  of  Rowley). 

Mrs.  Tenney  was  buried  26  Sept.,  1657.  He  married  24  Feb.^ 
1658,  his  second  wife,  Elizabeth,  widow  of  Francis  Parrat  of 
Rowley. 

It  does  not  appear  that  they  had  children.  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Ten- 
ney received  by  bequest  of  Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers  £10  in  1660-1 
(Essex  Deeds,  Ipswich,  168).  In  the  will  of  Robert  Hunter,  viz.^ 
"to  Thomas  Tenney  I  give  10  s,  dated  5,  6  mo.,  1647 :  proved  28,  7^ 
1647  (Ipswich  Record,  Vol.  1,  leaf  25),  Thomas  Tenney,  a  witnesa 
to  the  will  of  John  Smith  of  Rowley,  13  July,  1661 :  on  file  No. 
22590,  used  only  one  e  in  Tenny." 

A  survey  of  the  town  of  Rowley  was  ordered  the  10  of  the  11th 
month,  A.  D.,  1643 ;  a  committee  of  four  freemen  were  appointed. 
Freemen  were  members  of  the  church,  taxpayers,  voters,  cotdd  hold 
ofiice,  and  they  only  until  1664,  when  the  law  was  abolished  by  the 
General  Court. 


GENEALOGY.  11 

In  this  survey  of  1648  an  acre-and-a-half  house-lot  on  Holmea 
street  was  registered  to  Thomas  Tenney,  **  bounded  on  the  south 
fflde  by  John  Haseltine's  house-lot,  and  the  east  end  by  the  streete.'* 
(Gage,  123.)  It  was  bounded  on  the  north  side  by  the  two-acre 
house-lot  of  Robert  Haseltine.  This  lot  is  now  owned  and  occupied 
by  the  Primes,  having  been  purchased  of  Daniel  Tenney  by  Mark 
Prime  in  1701,  and  has  had  a  store  thereon  ever  since.  It  is  now 
bounded  on  the  south  by  the  homestead  of  George  B.  Blodgette> 
Esq.  The  house  erected  by  Thomas  Tenney,  Senior,  was  torn 
down  by  Captain  Daniel  N.  Prime  in  1838.  "In  a  Survey  of  the 
Several  Gates  or  Commonages  belonging  vnto  The  Severall  Inhabi- 
tants of  the  Town  of  Rowley  as  They  are  now  in  possession,"  taken 
4  February,  1661,  are  the  following  entries  to  Thomas  Tenney  and 
his  wife,  Elizabeth : —

In  1667,  by  division  of  the  Island  marshes,  he  received  land. 
(Gage,  150-1.)  In  1670,  by  division  of  Merrimack  land,  he  re- 
ceived land.  (Gage,  847-8.)  In  a  division  of  1673-4  he  received 
land.  (Gage,  138.)  There  was  no  settlement  on  the  lot  northwest 
of  Simon's  Brook  until  after  the  day  of  Thomas  Tenney,  Senior. 
(Blodgette.)    This  lot  is  one  half  mile  east  of  Long  Hill. 

The  town  in  Oct.  22,  1677,  records  style  him  ensign,  marshal  in 
1653-66 ;  wamer  of  town  meetings,  1650-53-60-61-66 ;  overseer  of 
plains,  1656-64-71 ;  selectman,  1660-61-70 ;  viewer  of  fences,  high- 
ways, and  chimneys,  1669;  constable,  1665-66;  tithingman,  1680. 
In  1660,  on  committee  to  see  about  the  preservation  of  fire  wood. 
(Gage,  p.  144.)  1674-77,  concerned  in  the  aflEairs  of  Rev.  Mr. 
Shepard.  (Gage,  p.  76.)  In  1667,  appointed  to  see  that  the  Sabbath 
be  duly  observed.  (Gage,  p.  151.)  In  1680  appointed  inspector  of 
ten  families.  (Gage,  p.  152.)  Several  records  of  intervening  years  are 
lost,  and  there  are  no  records  of  admission  to  the  church  for  a  period 
of  twenty-six  years.  The  church  record  may  have  been  lost  in  the 
conflagration  of  Rev.  Mr.  Rogers'  house.    Thomas  Tenney  is  in  the

list  of  church  members  tmder  date  of  1669,  and  may  have  been  long 
a  member.  The  last  years  of  his  life  were  passed  in  Bradford, 
Mass.,  as  seen  by  deed,  viz. :  "  Thomas  Tenney  of  Bradford  (a  gift) 
to  Eldest  son  John  Tenney  of  Bradford,  sixty  acres  of  land  in 
Bradford,  now  in  possession  of  John  Wood,  also  three  acres  of 
meadow  at  Crane  Pond  in  Rowley,  also  six  acres  .  .  .  also  one 
and  one  fourth  acre  .  .  .  also  six  acres  and  2  cow-gates." 
Dated  15  June,  1694.  (Essex  Deeds,  13 :  119.)  He  died  in  Brad- 
ford 20  February,  1699-1700,  and  is  buried  in  the  Old  Cemetery. 

This  old  burying  ground  was  used  in  the  first  settlement  of  the 
town,  and  remained  the  only  cemetery  until  1723,  when  the  East 
parish  (now  the  town  of  Groveland)  burial-ground  was  opened. 
The  oldest  stone  now  standing  and  decipherable  bears  the  date 
of  1^81.  (L.  A.  Woodbury,  Essex  Antiquarian,  Feb.,  1901.)

Note. — Rowley,  Mass.,  is  situated  thirty-two  miles  from  Boston, 
via  Eastern  Railroad,  with  a  station  about  one  mile  eastward  from 
the  village.  It  received  its  name  from  Rowley,  Yorkshire,  England, 
where  the  Rev.  Ezekiel  Rogers  and  some  of  his  people  had  lived. 
It  was  incorporated  the  4th  of  September,  1639,  and  then  embraced 
Bradford,  Groveland,  Georgetown,  and  Boxford.  Most  of  the  "  by- 
laws and  orders  "  were  passed  in  1643  and  a  few  of  a  later  date  in 
1660. 

"  Ordered :  That  all  town  streets  be  four  rods  wide,  three  rods  to 
be  kept  clear  of  impediments,  on  a  penalty  of  58.  Ordered :  That 
no  person  in  the  town  shall  fall,  lop,  bark,  or  girdle  any  tree  on 
north  or  northwest  side  of  any  house  or  house-lot  in  the  town  within 
eighty  rods  thereof,  upon  the  penalty  of  5s.  for  every  tree.  Ordered : 
All  persons  appointed  by  overseers  for  town  day  work  shall  be 
ready  at  seven  o'clock  in  the  morning.  In  case  of  failure  he  shall 
pay  3d.  an  hour  for  lost  time.  Ten  acres  of  land  granted,  for 
encouragement  towards  building  a  grist  mill." 

A  fulling  mill  was  built  about  1643.  A  plain  meeting  house  was 
erected   and   church  was   organized   the    3d   of  December,   1639. 


GENEALOGY.  13 

(Hist.  Essex,  356.)  The  earliest  mention  of  a  meeting  house  bell 
was  in  1658,  and  this  bell  was  suspended  from  a  frame  near  the 
meeting  house.  (Gage,  17.)  And  for  sweeping  the  meeting  house 
and  for  ringing  of  the  bell,  was  granted  a  yearly  appropriation  of 
£2.10s. 

The  earliest  mention  of  a  school  was  February  3,  1656-7,  when 
William  Boynton  was  engaged  as  a  teacher  for  the  term  of  seven 
years.  He  taught  about  twenty-four  years.  (Hist.  Essex.)  The 
earliest  tax  list  preserved  bears  the  date  "ye  9th  of  June,  1691"; 
the  first  recorded  marriage,  1639.  The  first  physician  in  the  town 
was  in  1652.  In  1680  there  were  one  hundred  and  twenty-nine 
families  in  town.  (Nason.)  The  town  records  are  very  full  and 
complete.  Not  a  leaf  is  missing  from  the  books  containing  the 
entries  of  births,  marriages,  and  deaths.     (Hist.  Essex  Co.) 

From  the  beginning,  Rowley  was  a  manufacturing  as  well  as  a 
farming  town.  Many  of  the  first  settlers  were  weavers,  and,  in 
connection  with  the  fulling  mill,  the  production  of  cloth  was  long 
a  profitable  industry.  As  early  as  1680,  stip-building  was  carried 
on  at  the  warehouse  landing. 

About  1813,  Capt.  Perley  built  a  vessel  of  ninety  tons'  measure- 
ment, on  Rowley  Common,  one  mile  and  a  half  from  the  river. 
This  ship  was  named  "Country's  Wonder,"  and  was  drawn  to 
the  river,  in  one  day,  by  more  than  one  hundred  yoke  of  oxen. 
At  the  head  of  the  warehouse  road,  the  teamsters  stopped  for  luncl\ 
and  Capt.  Perley  emptied  a  barrel  of  old  Jamaica  rum  into  the 
Saunders  well,  that  all  might  drink.     (Blodgette.)

At  the  first  town  meeting  20  Feb.,  1668-9,  John  Tenney  served

In  1682  John  Tenney  was  one  of  the  18  who  formed  the  first

Bradford,  to  adjust  the  claims  of  the  heirs  of  Musquonomonit  alias 
Masehonnomet,  Indian  Sagamore  of  Agawam  (Gage,  373-77). 

As  early  as  12  December,  1682,  at  "a  private  Fast  held  at  the 
house  of  Brother  John  Tenney,"  an  instrument  was  drawn  prepar- 
atory to  the  gathering  of  a  church,  and  from  time  to  time  brothers 
were  nominated  to  provide  elements  for  the  Lord's  Supi)er.  IVlr. 
Tenney  served  on  a  committee  "for  ye  good  of  ye  town  as  to 
settling  ye  Reverend  Zachariah  Symmes,  and  for  the  further  carry- 
ing on  the  affairs  of  this  town  for  a  settlement  of  all  ye  ordinances

ministry.  He  served  on  a  committee  "  for  ye  healing  of  differences 
in  ye  church,"  and  "  votes  were  overhaled  by  Brother  John  Tenney 
and  Brother  John  Kimball."  Again  the  16  August,  1706,  he  was 
chosen  "  to  treat  with  the  Rev.  Mr.  Symmes  to  see  what  he  would 
abate  of  his  salary."  Deacon  Tenney  was  one  of  "  a  committee  of

hall  and  staircase ;  to  our  sorrow  it  is  now  owned  out  of  the  family. 
(Hannah  Hills.)  The  following  is  from  a  diary  of  his  youngest  daugh- 
ter, Sophia  (Tenney)  Ordway :  "  Father  was  a  fine  singer,  as  were  his 
children,  eight  of  whom  were  singers  of  the  choir  at  one  time." 

He  had  a  room  in  his  house  fitted  for  singing  and  instruction  9 
being  anxious  to  educate  his  children  he  organized  a  school  in  said 
room,  and  fitted  his  son  for  Bradford  academy.  In  1775  he 
marched  to  Bunker  Hill  in  charge  of  the  baggage  and  provision 
wagon,  under  Capt  Nathaniel  Gage.  He  was  chosen  deacon  of 
Rev.  Mr.  Tappan's  church  in  1783,  retiring  from  active  service  in 
1811;  he  was  followed  by  the  same  name,  there  being  a  Deacon 
Tenney  in  this  church  for  a  period  of  109  years.  "  Father  surely 
left  a  goodly  inheritance  to  his  children." 

In  1801  the  church  voted  that  Deacon  Tenney  be  one  of  the 
deacons  to  read  during  the  intermission  from  the  following  authors : 
Dodridge,  Wadsworth,  Da  vies.  Walker,  and  Erskine.  In  1804  he 
was  one  of  a  committee  to  survey  the  first  parish  for  the  most  con- 
venient spot  to  build  a  meeting-house,  taking  into  view  all  the  difli- 
cnlties  in  the  various  parts  of  the  parish.  (Church  Record.)  On 
the  10  April,  1805,  he  was  chosen  to  provide  for  the  Lord's  table ; 
the  child  daughter  was  impressed  by  the  mother's  assistance  in 
laying  the  church  table.  Many  of  the  early  church  records  were 
•destroyed  by  fire.  My  great-grandmother  was  a  handsome  lady, 
and  was  bom  31  Dec,  1751,  and  died  27  Feb.,  1846,  of  cancer. 

My  great  grandfather  was  often  called  a  strong  man ;  he  died  29 
May,  1821 ;  burial  Walnut  Hill  cemetery.  (Hannah  Hills.)  Dea-

out  of  the  Revolutionary  war  he  mounted  his  horse  and  rode  to  the 
vicinity  of  Boston,  arriving  in  season  to  assist  in  dressing  the 
wounds  of  the  injured  at  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  He  served 
through  the  war  as  surgeon,  one  year  in  a  Massachusetts  regiment, 
afterward  in  the  Rhode  Island  line.  He  was  present  at  the  sur- 
render of  Burgoyne  and  of  Comwallis.  He  volunteered  for  the 
defence  of  Red  Bank  on  the  Delaware,  himself  using  a  musket,  and 
dressed  the  wounds  of  Count  Donop,  who  was  mortally  wounded. 
The  Count  delivered  to  him  his  pocket-book,  remarking  that  he 
looked  like  an  honest  man.  He  returned  to  Exeter,  though  he  did 
not  resume  professional  practice.  He  had  a  strong  inclination

He  was  a  member  of  several  literary,  historical,  and  scientific 
societies;  to  which  he  contributed  articles  for  their  publication.  For 
the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  Society  he  wrote  a  much-approved 
treatise  on  orcharding.  He  also  wrote  an  account  of  the  mineral 
water  of  Saratoga  and  a  theory  of  prismatic  colors.  For  his  scien-

The  American  Academy  of  Arts  and  Sciences  has  articles  by  Dr. 
Samuel  Tenney.  He  was  "a  man  of  fine  presence  and  of  much 
dignity.  His  domestic  and  social  relations  were  of  the  happiest 
character."  He  died  6  Feb.,  1816.  Dr.  George  W.  Dearborn  has

Mr.  Tenney  removed  from  Rowley  soon  after  April,  1793,  to 
Topsfield,  Mass.,  and.  about  the  year  1805,  to  St.  Albans,  Me.  He 
had  a  great  fondness  for  intellectual  pursuits,  and  was  desirous  to 
obtain  an  education  for  the  Christian  ministry,  but  in  this  he  was 
strongly  opposed.  This  was  to  him  a  sore  trial,  of  which  he  was 
accustomed,  in  after  life,  to  speak  with  deep  regret  Though  he 
became  a  farmer,  he  was  a  thorough  theologian,  and  but  few,  even 
among  ministers,  were  so  discriininating  in  this  direction  as  he.  He 
was  not  a  cold  speculator,  but  used  the  great  doctrines  of  the  Bible 
as  a  foundation  for  Christian  experience  and  practice.  He  was  very 
faithful  in  the  religious  training  of  his  children,  all  of  whom  "  be- 
came soundly  oi-thodox,  not  only  in  head  but  in  heart."  (Rev.

(his  2  w.),  Mary  Saunders.  Residence,  Georgetown.  "  He  was  one  of 
three  men  who  rode  across  a  room  on  a  meal-chest  propelled  by 
invisible  power.  In  1780,  Hannah  Hazen,  a  native,  was  annoyed  in 
her  weaving  by  strange  sounds  from  the  walls  answering  each 
stroke  of  the  lathe.  Unable  to  account  for  this,  Hannah  was  set 
to  sifting  meal,  but  she  or  her  clothes  had  no  sooner  touched  the 
meal-chest  than  it  began  to  move  by  jogs  of  one  or  two  inches  so 
long  as  she  kept  at  work.  Other  articles,  to  a  heavy  work-bench, 
would  move  from  her.  Twenty  witnesses,  who  had  seen  the  loaded 
meal-chest  move  and  begin  to  turn  the  comer,  were  not  to  be  put 
down  by  a  theory,  even  by  two  clergymen.  The  girl  was  sent 
away,  and  the  law  of  gravitation  restored."    (Hist,  of  Essex.)

The  following  is  a  postal  addressed  to  Prof.  Jonathan  Tenney, 
Albany,  N.Y.: 

TRUTHS  THAT  HAVE  COME  TO  STAY. 

Any  theory  that  divides  mankind  into  contending  sects  and  fac- 
tions is  based  on  false  premises.  That  belief  in  a  supreme  being,  or 
its  equivalent,  the  supremacy  of  spirit  over  matter,  has  had  this 
effect,  the  history  of  the  human  family  gives  ample  evidence. 
While  mathematics,  based  on  a  balance  of  powers,  unite  all  in  a 


114  THE  TENNEY  FAMILY. 

harmonioos  whole,  metaphysics,  based  on  belief  in  supreme  power, 
divide  all  into  contending  sects  and  factions,  and  to  this  role  there 
are  no  exceptions.  The  simple  fact  that  the  two  conditions  in  which 
everything  exists,  whether  called  God  and  nature,  spirit  and  matter, 
male  and  female,  or  by  any  name  used  to  designate  opposites,  are 
interchanging  relations,  positive  and  negative  conditions  of  the  same 
thing,  is  as  evident  as  that  night  and  day  are  interchanging.  That 
all  vegetables  are  sexual,  the  tops  and  roots  interchanging  and  bear- 
ing the  same  relation  to  each  other  as  males  and  females  in  the  ani- 
mal, and  making  a  counterpart  to  us  invisible,  as  necessary  to  animal 
life  as  the  top  is  to  the  roots  of  the  vegetable. 

Every  organic  form,  whether  worlds  or  their  constituent  parts, 
hafl  its  starting  point  in  a  central  germ,  and  that  germ  the  product 
of  sexual  union,  or  its  equivalent.  The  wave  of  being  that  now 
constitutes  the  human  family  was  evolved  from  the  central  germ  of 
our  planet,  has  passed  through  and  in  turn  represented  all  the  con- 
ditions of  being  that  are  following  it,  a  &ct  fully  demonstrated  in 
waves  of  growth  in  all  vegetable  life. 

Interchange  of'  sex  vs.  the  supremacy  of  one  over  the  other,  as 
demonstrated  in  the  roots  and  tops  of  all  vegetable,  is  as  sure  to 
revolutionize  public  opinion  in  the  not  distant  future  as  was  the  dis- 
covery that  worlds  are  revolving  spheres  instead  of  being  flat  and 
stationary.

of  the  street  by  the  Georgetown  branch,  on  the  original  Tenney

William  Tenney  during  the  Revolutionary  war.  About  1830  an 
addition  on  the  left  of  the  main  house  was  made  by  Deacon  Will- 
iam, and  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  family  until  a  few  years

Groveland,  Mass.)

<<  Rest,  sleeping  dust,  in  silence  rest, 
In  the  cold  grave,  Jesus-blest; 
In  faith  and  hope  we  lay  thee  there, 
Safe  in  our  Heavenly  Father's  care."

Tenney  produce  a  light  identical  with  what  is  now  called  *  electric 
light,'  the  power  from  a  battery  of  his  own  construction  composed 
of  zinc  and  copper.  The  wires  were  brought  to  the  table,  and  the 
connecting  points  were  of  charcoal  whittled  to  a  point ;  and  when 
brought  to  the  right  distance  by  holding  each  point  in  either  hand, 
produced  a  light  so  dazzling  in  the  room  that  it  could  be  sustained 
only  a  moment.  It  was  at  the  same  course  of  lectures  that  he  pro- 
duced the  gas  light,  at  that  time  but  little  known  in  this  country. 
All  apparatus  was  of  his  own  construction,  and  the  *  air  pump '  I 
flaw  a  year  or  two  ago.  Mr.  Tenney  was  a  man  of  irreproachable 
character,  also  chorister  of  the  Congregational  Church  choir."  He

Judge  John  Seable  Tbnney,  bom  on  the  ancestral  estate  in 
Kowley,  Mass^  1  Jan.,  1793,  son  of  Enoch  and  Jane  (Searle);  mar- 
ried in  Ipswich,  Mass^  in  Feb^  1831,  Hannah  Dennis,  who  was 
bom  in  1793 ;  died  20  Sept^  1876.  Residence,  Norridgewock,  Me. 
He  fitted  for  college  at  Dmnmer  Academy,  graduated  from  Bowdoin 
College  in  1816 ;  judge  of  the  Supreme  Judicial  Court.  Few  men 
in  the  state  were  better  known  or  more  respected ;  a  man  of  noble 
presence,  of  great  force  of  character  and  mental  power,  delicate  sen- 
sibilities, and  associated  with  enterprises.  In  stature  six  feet  and 
three  inches,  his  weight  was  two  hundred  and  fifty  pounds.  He 
was  the  owner  of  the  ancestral  farm  in  Rowley,  Byfield  parish, 
which  comprised  over  one  hundred  acres  and  passed  to  his  daughter. 
It  has  always  been  occupied  by  some  one  of  the  name,  with  one 
exception,  when  sold,  but  soon  taken  back,  ^^  being  homesick."  The 
present  house  is  the  third  built,  and  is  about  one  hundred  and  fifty 
years  old,  and  erected  by  Nathaniel  Tenney,  of  the  fourth  genera- 
tion. It  is  two-storied,  with  front  door  in  the  middle,  and  com- 
prises thirteen  rooms,  with  generous  halls  and  closets,  also  two 
chimneys  in  the  main  part.  An  extra  L  has  been  added  for  the  use 
of  a  second  family,  and  the  well  is  equally  distant  from  rear  doors. 
Two  buildings  are  used  for  carriage-house  and  shed ;  a  nice  new  bam 
on  the  opposite  side  of  the  highway  is  within  convenient  distance. 
One  half  of  the  house  is  occupied  by  Tenney  furniture ;  a  tall  clock 
and  straight-back  chairs  which  a  city  cousin  might  covet.  From 
the  attic,  industry  and  economy  could  be  seen,  by  loom,  flax,  and 
little  wheel  and  wooden  lasts.  Shade  and  fruit  trees  are  without  a 
trace  of  a  landscape  gardener.  The  neighbors  are  in  sight,  and  the 
farmer  is  one  formerly  employed  by  Judge  Tenney. 

Since  writing  the  above  the  farm  has  been  purchased  by  N.  N. 
Bummer ;  he  is  of  the  Tenney  blood  as  was  his  first  wife.  In  May, 
1902,  said  estate  was  sold  to  Mr.  Creighton,  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  for  a 
summer  residence.  A  part  of  the  house  is  occupied  by  the  engineer 
of  the  Dummer  mills.  Judge  Tenney  died  28  Aug.,  1869,  and  is 
buried  at  Byfield  in  the  family  lot  which  has  a  large  stone  monu- 
ment.   Children :

And  at  night  our  dear  old  mother 

Would  sing  some  tender  lay, 
Till  we  thought  that  Heaven  and  Eden 

Were  not  so  far  away. 

But|  alas!  those  days  are  vanished, 

And  I  often  list  to  know 
Their  loving  Angel  footsteps 

Of  the  dear  and  **  Long  Ago," 

Are  still  around  my  pathway; 

And  I  say,  with  brimming  eyes, 
*•  They  surely  can't  be  happy, 

Unless  I  *m  with  them  in  the  skies.  "^ 

Then  I  cease  my  bitter  doubting 

And  I  say,  **  'Tis  surely  well. 
I  will  wait  my  time  appointed. 

When  I  with  them  shall  dwell.'*

about  1838  was  first  lieutenant,  later  chosen  captain.  In  1853-54 
a  representative. 

He  was  a  well-known  portrait  painter.  The  first  thirty-four  years 
of  his  life  were  passed  on  a  farm,  and  he  had  no  idea  of  any  other 
occupation  until  thirty  years  of  age,  when  he  saw  a  portrait  of 
Slafter,  which  impressed  him  with  a  desire  to  copy.  Succeeding, 
he  sought  living  subjects  which  "  infatuated  "  him,  and  he  gave  all 
leisure  time  to  painting.  In  the  fall  of  1844  Francis  Alexander  of 
Boston  saw  Mr.  Tenney's  first  and  later  works,  encouraged  him  in 
art,  and  received  him  for  five  weeks  at  his  studio  in  Boston,  which 
"was  time  and  money  well  spent."  From  this  all  time  was  devoted 
to  painting,  in  Hanover,  Lebanon,  Manchester,  and  Concord,  X.  H. 
Dr.  Dixi  Crosby  of  the  Medical  College  was  the  first  to  patronize 
him ;  then  the  Crosby  family ;  Professor  Peabody,  a  portrait ;  Pro- 
fessor Young,  Professor  Brown,  and  others  at  Dartmouth  College ; 
Cecum,  the  Indian  convert,  a  large-size  j)ortrait ;  two  portraits  of 
Rev.  N.  Bouton — one  for  Dartmouth  College,  the  other  for  the 
library  at  Concord ;  Hon.  John  P.  Hale,  given  to  Exeter  Academy 
by  Dr.  Willard ;  also  a  copy  of  Phillips,  the  founder  of  the  academy. 
United  States  President  Pierce's  portrait  was  pronounced  by  the 
newspapers  a  success,  and  a  Boston  man  took  a  copy,  also  the  Demo- 
cratic club  at  Concord  took  several  copies ;  a  poor  engraving  of  it

may  be  seen  in  Hawthorne's  "  Life  of  General  Pierce."  President 
Pierce's  little  son  was  a  favorite  portrait ;  Col.  Mason  W.  Tappan 
of  the  First  X.  H.  regiment  was  also  painted.  Col.  Jesse  Gove's 
portrait  hangs  in  the  rotunda  of  the  state  house  in  Concord,  in  which 
building  may  be  seen  thirty  pictures  by  this  artist, — Governor  Berry, 
Governor  Prescott,  Governor  Stearns,  Gov.  X.  Baker,  Hon.  E.  H. 
Rollins,  etc.,  also  copies  of  colonial  dignitaries. 

Mr.  Tenney  "  painted  in  Boston,  a  little  in  New  York,  at  Balti- 
more, and  down  the  Mississippi  river  to  Mississippi  and  Arkansas,'* 
where  he  passed  a  winter  four  years  before  the  war,  painting  twenty- 
seven  portraits.  He  removed  to  Winona,  Minn.,  and  for  his  "  grati- 
fication "  has  painted  from  miniature  President  Lincoln,  President 
Garfield,  President  Hayes,  Secretary  Windom,  and  A.  A.  Tenney. 
In  1854  he  painted,  at  Newbury,  Vt.,  the  portraits  of  Col.  A.  B.  W. 
Tenney  and  Mrs.  Tenney. 

This  brief  sketch  is  but  a  faint  outline  of  work  accomplished  by 
Mr.  Tenney.  The  last  years  of  their  lives  were  passed  in  Oberlin, 
Ohio,  with  a  son.  Rev.  H.  M.  Tenney,  where  she  died  4  Jan.,  1900.

graduated  from  Mt.  Holyoke  College ;  was  very  closely  connected 
with  Mary  Lyon,  being  her  amanuensis  for  two  years,  and  declined 
remaining  as  teacher.  In  1846  the  trustees  of  the  Medical  College 
in  Willoughby,  Ohio,  wrote  Miss  Lyon  for  a  teacher.  Miss  Tenney 
responded,  and  in  Mch.,  1847,  she  opened  a  female  college,  which  in 
its  work  of  usefulness  was  most  wonderful.  In  the  seventh  year

from  Cleveland,  expressed  his  pleasure  by  a  donation  of  $1,000, 
which  in  its  future  work  was  increased  to  |580,000.  From  over- 
work she  was  obliged  to  resign,  to  her  intense  grief ;  the  trustees

After  the  accession  of  Kamehameha  V,  in  1863,  he  was  called  to 
the  Privy  Council,  a  position  which  he  retained  under  Lunalilo  and 
Kalakaua,  and  elected  to  the  legislature  of  1864-65,  acting  as 
president  of  that  body.  Kalakaua  appointed  him  a  member  of  the 
House  of  Nobles.  He  held  that  position  and  that  of  Privy  Coun- 
cilor until  he  resigned  on  account  of  infirmities.  He  donated  three 
scholarships  to  the  Oahu  College.  In  1851,  with  the  approbation  of 
the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  he  formed  a  partnership  with  Amos  S.  Cooke, 
and  established  the  well-known  mercantile  house  of  Castle  &  Cooke. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Castle  celebrated  their  golden  wedding,  receiving 
their  friends  and  listening  to  the  melody  of  Mendelshohn's  "  Wed-

children  was  opened  16  Feb.,  1901 ;  its  name  was  given  in  honor  of 
its  constant  friend  and  benefactor.  Her  hand  and  heart  have  ever

manifested  a  love  of  books  and  mental  improvement ;  cheerful  in 
disposition,  ardent  in  her  affections;  united  with  the  Haverhill 
Church  6  Aug.,  1809.  In  the  fall  of  1810  her  attention  was  first 
turned  to  missionary  labors,  and  under  date  of  10  Oct.,  1810,  she 
thus  writes : 


254  THE   TENNEY   FAMILY. 

"A  female  frjend  [Nancy  Ilaseltine,  afterward  Mrs.  Judson]  called 
upon  us  this  morning.  She  informed  me  of  her  determination  to 
quit  her  native  land  forever,  to  endure  the  sufferings  of  a  Christian 
amongst  heathen  nations,  to  8j)end  her  days  in  India's  sultry  clime. 
How  did  the  news  affect  my  heart !  Is  she  willing  to  do  all  this  for 
<Tod ;  and  shall  I  refuse  to  lend  my  little  aid,  in  a  land  where  divine 
revelation  has  shed  ite  brightest  rays  V  I  have  felt  more  for  the  sal- 
vation of  the  heathen  this  day  than  I  recollect  to  have  felt  through 
my  whole  past  life." 

A  few  days  later :  "  Oct.,  23  Mr.  M.  introduced  Mr.  Newell  to  our 
family.  He  appears  to  be  an  engaged  Christian ;  expects  to  spend 
his  life  in  preaching  a  Saviour  to  the  benighted  pagans." 

In  the  following  April  Miss  Atwood  received  a  formal  proposal 
from  Mr.  Newell  to  become  his  wife.  The  letter  called  for  an  imme- 
diate answer.  She  was  then  in  Boston,  but  hastened  home  to  ask  a 
mother's  advice.  With  tears  Mrs.  Atwood  said :  "If  a  conviction  of 
duty,  and  love  to  the  souls  of  the  perishing  heathen,  lead  you  to 
India,  as  much  as  I  love  you,  Harriet,  I  can  only  say.  Go." 

Ten  days  after  their  marriage  they  sailed  from  Salem,  Mass.,  in 
the  Caravan^  for  Calcutta,  arriving  17  June,  1812.  They  found  the 
East  India  Company  violently  opposed  to  missions,  and  within  a 
short  month  were  "ordered  by  the  government  to  leave  immedi- 
ately." The  captain  of  the  Caravan  was  refused  a  home  clearance 
imless  he  took  the  missionaries  with  him.  Finally  they  obtained 
liberty  to  go  to  the  Isle  of  France,  and  the  31st  of  October  they 
anchored  at  Port  Louis,  where  they  rented  a  house. 

"  Oh,  Memory's  pencil- trace! 
Behold  sweet  Harriet  Newell 's  pensive  face 
From  out  the  background  of  the  past  arise, 
Her  young  life  beautiful  in  sacrifice!  ** 

The  name  of  Harriet  Newell  is  as  widely  known  and  revered  as 
any  modern  female.  She  was  a  heroine  far  above  ordinary  hero- 
ines.    (Book  Note.) 

The  day  before  her  death  she  partook  of  the  s}Tnbols  of  the  sac- 
rament, and  then  uttered  these  w  ords :  "  I  have  had  it  in  my  heart 
to  do  what  I  can  for  the  heathen,  and  I  hope  God  will  accept  me." 
She  died  Monday,  30  Nov.,  1812.  A  little  daughter,  "Harriet," 
four  days  old,  died  a  little  before  the  mother.  A  marble  monument 
has  been  erected  over  the  grave  of  Mra.  Newell  at  Port  Louis  by  the 
A.  B.  C.  F.  M.     Rev.  Samuel  Newell  died  at  Bombay  in  May,  1821.

That  I  its  glorious  precepts  know."

1464.-Vn.— 588. 

Daniel  Kent  Ten  net,  bom  in  Plattsburg,  N.  Y^  31  Dec^  1834^ 
son  of  Rev.  Daniel  and  Sylvia  (Kent) ;  married  14  Sept^  1857, 
Mary  Jane  Marston,  who  was  bom  in  Montpelier,  Vt.,  daughter  of 
Jeremiah  and  Meranda  C.  (Dodge).  When  he  was  six  months  old 
the  family  removed  to  Laporte,  Lorain  county,  Ohio.  He  eju-ly 
developed  a  remarkable  memory.  At  the  age  of  eight,  attended  a 
spelling  contest  of  150  old  and  young,  carrying  off  th^/  prize.  This 
eight-year  old  son  was  apprentice  in  a  printing  office  at  Elyria,  two 
years  learning  the  "  art  preservative."  When  twelve,  recited  two 
chapters  of  Genesis  and  the  four  gosji^ls,  thus  capturing  the  S.  S. 
prize.  At  this  age  he  entered  a  printing  office  at  Hudson,  O.,  with 
the  purpose  of  working  his  way  through  Western  Reserve  College, 
then  located  there,  working  half  of  the  year  and  studying  the  other 
half.  The  proprietor  soon  required  twelve  hours  a  day,  which  was 
submitted  to  for  two  years.  At  fifteen  he  went  to  Madison,  Wis., 
working  at  printing  vacations  and  Saturdays.  This  enabled  him  to 
take  four  years  at  the  university.  He  then  determined  to  study  for 
the  legal  profession,  securing  the  means  by  a  year  as  foreman  in  a 
printing  establishment. 

He  entered  the  study  of  law,  and  the  11  Dec,  1855,  being  less 
than  21  years  of  age,  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  same  day  formed 
a  partnership.  At  thirty  he  removed  to  Chicago,  111.,  where  he  re- 
sided twenty-seven  years.  His  specialty  was  conmiercial  and  cor- 
poration law,  nine-tenths  arranged  on  terms  of  peace. 

**  Peace  hath  her  victories  no  less  renowned  than  war." 

If  war  was  necessary  he  was  always  ready. 

In  1897  he  returned  to  Madison,  where  from  the  Tenney  Block 
appears  Tenneys,  Hall  &  Swansen  (D.  K.  and  C.  H.),  He  is  an  ar- 
dent Republican,  refusing  political  and  judicial  positions.  He  has 
visited  all  parts  of  the  world,  "excepting  Alaska,"  a  humorous  view- 
often  given  in  print  and  various  booklets ;  a  diligent  searcher  for  the 
tmth,  devoted  to  charities  of  a  public  and  private  nature.  Remark- 
ably successful.     Children :

When  the  tempest  seemeth  long, 
We  will  raise  the  cheerful  song ; 
Life  is  only  a  little  time, 
And  to  live  here  is  sublime. 

Faint  not  pilgrim,  One  is  good, 
Though  by  man  not  understood. 
He  would  draw  a  path  and  say, 
This  is  only  Gfod*s  own  way. 

Let  them  prate,  but  we  will  go 
Forward,  and  when  we  shall  know. 
As  the  dear  ones  knoweth  now, 
We  with  them  will  meekly  bow. 

I  have  seen  the  loved  ones  die, 
They  spoke  truth,  and  He  was  nigh. 
Are  we  not  our  Father*8  own, 
Will  He  harm  or  leave  us  *lone  ? 

No,  dear  pilgrim,  stay  on  Him, 
Though  the  earthly  eyes  are  dim ; 
The  fond  spirit  sees  the  light 
Breaking  through  the  shades  of  night.

408  THE  TENNEY   FAMILY. 

In  one  of  Mr.  Tenney's  European  visits,  in  1859,  he  made  an  effort 
to  trace  our  family  name,  and,  if  possible,  obtain  the  record  of  the 
clearance  of  the  vessel  that  brought  our  ancestors  to  this  country, 
but  failed  to  find  trace  in  the  advertising  office  at  Hull. 

Mr.  Tenney  found  the  sheriff  at  East  Riding,  Yorkshire,  England, 
to  be  a  Tenney  by  name — a  most  agreeable  an&  cultivated  gentleman 
— who  informed  him  that  the  family  tradition  b  that  we  are  of  Nor- 
man origin. 

The  churchyard  in  the  county  town  of  Lincoln  county  bears  the 
name  of  the  family  far  back  to  the  middle  of  the  fourteenth  century 
upon  the  headstones  in  that  old  cemetery.  The  Normans  are  char- 
acterized as  the  intellectual  as  well  as  the  physical  aristocracy  of 
modem  Europe,  and  it  is  this  resistless  energy,  in  the  face  of  all  op- 
position, combined  with  intellectual  grasp,  that  has  given  to  America 
the  name  of  the  young  Norman  nation. 

He  died  at  his  Brooklyn  home  Saturday  in  his  eighty-eighth  year 
(1903).     Children: 

4812  Maria  Antoinette,  b.  18  Apr.,  1843;  d.  Aug.,  1864.

Agassiz  at  Cambridge.  On  the  opening  of  Vassar  College  in  1865 
he  was  elected  Professor  of  Natural  History  in  that  institution.  In 
1868  he  was  elected  to  the  same  chair  at  Williams  College,  which 
position  he  held  until  the  close  of  his  life.  He  gave  two  courses  of 
lectures  before  the  Lowell  Institute  in  Boston,  Mass.,  and  was  under 
engagement  for  a  third  course  at  the  time  of  his  death,  9  July,  1877. 
He  died  suddenly  at  Buchanan,  Mich.,  on  his  way  to  join  the  Rocky 
Mountain  expedition.  He  was  an  enthtisiast  in  his  work,  inspired 
his  pupils,  and  knew  nothing  of  any  conflict  between  science  and 
Christianity.  He  often  made  this  thought  prominent  in  his  teach- 
ings. He  was  the  author  of  "Geology  for  Teachers,*^  **A  Manual  of

Lieut.  Edwin  Alanson  Tenney,  bom  in  Lebanon,  N.  H.,  12 
Nov.,  1825,  son  of  Andrew  and  Betsey  E.  (Miner);  married  in 
Claremont,  N.  H.,  12  Nov.,  1851,  on  his  twenty-sixth  birthday,  to 
Rachel  D.  Miner,  by  Rev.  C.  D.  Pierce.  Mrs.  Tenney  was  bom  in 
Lempster,  N.  H.,  24  July,  1825,  and  is  a  person  of  many  graces. 

In  1836  he  left  his  home  to  carve  his  destiny,  and  in  1846  was  a 
bookkeeper  in  Charlestown,  Mass.  He  enlisted  in  the  First  Massa- 
chusetts regiment  for  the  Mexican  war,  with  Col.  Caleb  C.  Cushing 
and  Capt.  Edward  Webster  (a  son  of  Hon.  Daniel  Webster) .  They 
received  the  name  of  "  Bunker  Hill  Boys,"  and  sailed  from  Boston 
23  Feb.,  1847,  and  encountered  a  nine  days'  storm,  never  seeing  the 
sun  or  being  able  to  get  the  ship's  reckoning. 

Many  trying  and  varied  changes  came  to  Lieut.  Tenney's  army 
life,  yet  he  met  and  filled  every  demand  in  a  spirit  of  patriotism, 
acting  as  lieutenant,  quartermaster,  interpreter,  and  one  of  a  com- 
mittee of  four  to  meet  Gen.  Taylor.  He  marched  over  4,000  miles 
in  Mexico,  and  rose  from  a  private  to  the  rank  of  lieutenant. 


428  THE   TENNEY   FAMILY. 

• 
In  1848  he  was  stricken  with  yellow  fever,  and  was  in  the  post 

hospital  at  the  time  peace  was  declared,  but  was  kindly  removed  to 
the  home  of  one  whose  life  he  had  saved,  and  in  due  time  returned 
to  his  home  in  New  Hampshire. 

In  1857  he  settled  at  Lacrosse,  Wis.,  and  retired  from  the  hard- 
ware business  in  1877.  At  the  organization  of  the  Universalist 
Church  society  in  1860  he  was  elected  secretary,  in  1865  president, 
and  treasurer  many  years.  Mrs.  Tenney  is  the  church  treasurer. 
Mr.  Tenney  was  a  well-known  writer  of  poetry,  under  the  name  of 
"Fuller,"  author  of  "Midsummer  Night,"  "Easter,"  "The  Crocus," 
"  Vbion,"  " Candlemas  Day,"  " Hallowe'en,"  "Friendship,"  "Float- 
ing Sands,"  "Who  will  Lead  Me  to  the  River,"  "Memory,"  "Sixty- 
five,"  and  a  volume  of  others.  He  was  eagerly  solicited  as  a  local  and 
tourist  correspondent.  To  us  he  is  known  as  the  discoverer  of  the 
Tenney  coat  of  arms  and  the  owner  of  its  electrotype. 

He  died  16  Aug.,  1895,  of  valvular  heart  disease.  No  children. 
For  his  picture  see  the  first  edition  of  the  Tenney  Family  Book 
(1891). 

I  have  reached  the  summit — am  over  the  Great  Divide, 

And  am  whirling  down  the  steep  on  the  other  side  ; 

Have  passed  the  threescore,  and  added  the  other  two, 

But  cannot  turn  the  brakes,  all  that  I  can  do.

Charles  Volney  Tkxney,  born  in  Lebanon,  N.  H.,  9  Aug., 
1830,  son  of  Andrew  and  Betsey  E.  (Miner).  At  the  age  of  six 
years  he  lost  his  left  arm  by  a  heavy  loaded  team  and  it  was  ampu- 
tated by  Dr.  Mussy,  who  said  he  never  saw  such  heroism. 

He  graduated  at  the  Commercial  College  in  Boston,  Mass.,  and 
became  a  bookkeeper  in  a  banking  house ;  police  judge,  chief  clerk 
in  the  quartermaster's  department  at  the  southwest  during  the  war, 
with  various  stations  of  trust.  He  died  of  rheumatism  at  Dixon, 
111.,  28  Dec,  1869,  at  which  time  he  was  the  owner  and  proprietor 
of  the  Nachusa  House.  The  funeral  was  under  the  auspices  of  the

1851,  James  Davis  White,  by  Itev.  Geo.  W.  Campbell.  Mr.  White 
was  bom  in  Haverhill,  Mass.,  31  Mch.,  1824,  and  is  a  direct  descend- 
ant of  William  White,  who  settled  in  Haverhill  in  1640.  Residence, 
^*  Locust  Hill,''  Haverhill,  Mass.  He  retired  from  the  plaster  mill 
and  coal  business  in  1859;  an  independent  farmer;  prominent  in 
introducing  the  street  railroad  and  public  improvements.  He  died 
suddenly  of  heart  failure  9  Feb.,  1901 ;  a  man  of  attractive  personal- 
ity, vivid  and  realistic  in  events  borne  by  him,  qualified  to  attract, 
entertain,  and  hold  friends.     (I.  A.  A.) 

It  is  an  interesting  fact  that  Mr.  James  Davis  White's  paternal 
and  maternal  ancestry,  William  White  and  James  Davis,  were  two 
of  the  twelve  men  with  Rev.  Mr.  Ward,  who  organized  and  settled 
in  Haverhill,  Mass.,  in  1640,  (Coffin,  p.  33),  William  White  heading 
the  list,  the  third  name,  James  Davis. 

Mrs.  White  was  educated  at  Bradford  Academy,  Mass.,  a  member 
of  the  North  Church.  She  was  remarkably  endowed  with  the  home- 
making  faculty,  an  excellent  wife  and  mother,  with  unceasing  cheer- 
ing power  over  all ;  noted  for  hospitality  and  keen  wit.  She  died  at 
New  Orleans,  La.,  15  Feb.,  1895,  after  a  brief  illness  of  four  days  from 
la  grippe,  having  left  home  on  a  visit  through  the  south,  anticipating 
pleasure  when  suddenly  called  to  a  higher  experience.  Her  picture

her  two  children,  Mrs.  Stevens  and  Mr.  A.  Tenney  White.  Said 
children  gave  $1,000  each  as  a  permanent  fund  to  the  Haverhill 
Historical  Society,  in  the  name  and  in  memory  of  their  father,  the

Caroline  Mklissa  Xettleton,  bom  in  Oberlin,  Ohio,  4  Nov., 
1863,  daughter  of  Gen.  A.  B.  and  Melissa  R.  (Tenney) ;  married  in 
Minneapolis,  Minn.,  13  May,  1885,  Dexter  Thurber  of  Providence, 
R.  I.,  son  of  Gorham  Thurber,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Gorham 
Manufacturing  Co.  She  completed  her  art  studies  in  Paris  as  pupil 
of  Jean  Paul  Laurens  and  Benjamin  Constant,  1897-98;  specialty, 
portraiture ;  her  works  on  view  from  time  to  time  at  principal  salons 
and  exhibitions  of  Paris,  London,  New  York,  Philadelphia,  and 
Chicago.  Among  her  patrons  in  Europe  are  M.  Emile  Ollivier, 
j)resident  of  the  French  Academy,  and  the  Duchess  of  Sutherland. 

Since  returning  to  America  in  1901  she  has  been  kept  busy  exe- 
cuting commissions  for  prominent  people  East  and  West,  including 
a  full-length  portrait  of  Lieutenant-General  ^liles,  now  in  the  Cor- 
coran gallery  at  Washington,  D.  C,  and  portraits,  officially  ordered, 
of  the  presidents  of  Mt.  Ilolyoke  and  Western  Colleges  and  the 
dean  of  Oberlin ;  the  portrait  of  the  mayor  of  Providence,  ordered 
by  the  city,  and  one  of  the  governor  of  Rhode  Island,  ordered  by 
the  legislature  for  the  state  house. 

A  competent  critic  says  of  Mrs.  Thurber's  work :  "  Her  portraits 


GENEALOGY.  691 

are  not  less  notable  and  meritorious  as  works  of  art  than  as  speak- 
ing likenesses  and  character  studies  of  her  subjects,  a  combination 
which  places  her  distinctly  in  the  front  rank  of  American  portrait 
[)ainters.  Mrs.  Thurber's  power,  both  intuitive  and  cultivated,  of 
interpreting  her  sitter — his  personality,  his  mental  attitude,  and  his 
])a88ing  moods — is  singularly  complete  in  its  development  and 
unerring  in  its  application.  This,  coupled  with  an  equally  happy 
faculty  of  catching  and  fixing  on  canvas  the  facial  expression  of  the 
sitter  at  his  best  [to  which  every  subject  is  entitled  at  the  hands  of 
his  chosen  artist],  largely  accounts  for  the  swift  and  distinguishefd 
success  of  this  artist. 

"  She  finds  particular  pleasure  in  the  painting  of  children,  and 
shows  her  love  for  this  branch  of  her  art  in  the  simplicity,  vivacity, 
and  naturalness  characteristic  of  her  portraits  of  these  uneasy  little 
subjects."    Residence,  Bristol,  R.  I.     Children :
